This is a generic question: isn't it not a good thing to wear polyester clothes in case the plane you're in catches fire? My instructor and others have said as much to me.

Polyester melts. Better stick to wool.

yes by all means never wear polyester in an airplane.......if it were to catch fire it would melt into your skin causing terrible burns and would complicate recovery seeing that the skin and poleyster would be fused

If I'm ever in a situation where polyester is melting, it will be the last of my concerns.

BTW, burning wool can give off cyanide, particularly if there is limited oxygen and high heat/enclosed space. No better off there...

Any women reading? I am currently wearing Gap black khakis. They are NOT what I need, but worked when I had to buy for some say-day contract work and couldn't find tall sizes anywhere else.

My husband has wool Kenneth Coles and loves them. He got them at Marshall's or TJ Maxx for about $25/each.

We both need to switch over to navy and are at loss where to find ones that are a good color match in men/women and still sell Tall. All I can think of is Lands' End or LL Bean.
